MagLite - ST3D016 Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black

great product

Its a Maglite. I expect a perfect product from this American company, and they never disappoint. Any size or model of a Maglite is a good flashlight, the LED extends battery life, it is brighter than the incandescent, and the price point is perfect.

One of the best flashlights on the market.A+

Caught this on sale for twenty bucks. Cant go wrong with this light!

Thats all I really need to say. Heavy enough to use a hammer....once maybe twice. The LED is the real deal; my brother has the old style and it isnt half as bright.

Fantastic product. The flashlight is a bit heavy but it really lights up a large area with superb clarity. I am getting the smaller size for my son. This is the best flashlight Ive purchased (and I have tried a few, all purchased at Amazon), as it is sturdy, and makes seeing in the dark easy. Given the hurricane season, I am happy to have something that will make stumbling in the dark, less toe snubbing!

Can not address battery life or water resistance yet... the name on the barrel says it all...

It works very well with a nice bright white beam. I gave away 2 of them as gifts.

I have a conventional Mag-Lite and have always been annoyed that it isnt as bright and doesnt have as crisp and pure a beam as a cheap Coleman LED flashlight I got years ago. So I vowed my future flashlights would all be LED. When I saw this I thought, best of both worlds -- a name-brand powerful flashlight but now improved with LED. Bad assumption. This beam is not meaningfully better than my old conventional Mag-Lite and is WORSE than the cheap, plastic Coleman LED that came from Sams Club. The most annoying part is you cant get a clean beam. You can choose between focusing it so you get a super intense small white ball in the center of the beam that washes out whatever it reflects off of, with a series of much dimmer concentric circles/halos around it. Or you can broaden the usable portion of the beam but only by accepting an annoying black hole in the center of the beam. Flashlights seem to be going the way of cordless (not mobile) phones and other products where they pretty much all suck compared to the better products made years ago. Disappointing.

I got this light to walk my dog. A three battery version that I have was too big and heavy to carry around. This light is sturdy in the hand, operates with one hand while the other holds my dogs leash, and is bright enough to see objects over fifty feet away. On one walk I tracked a fox running about thirty to forty-five feet out without a problem. On another walk two suspicious men sitting in a car got out near me and I felt confident that if they approached, I could shine the light on them and blind them so that I could get the upper hand (they turned out to be harmless friends of a neighbor). Overall, very happy with this light.
